Cafe

In 2008, Addington Coffee Co-op café was established in an old mechanic’s workshop. The plan: create a place of belonging for the local community, while still preserving the architectural features now so rare in post-earthquake Christchurch.

Addington Coffee Co-op - before and after.

Our cafe exists for others. We like nothing more than to see people from all seasons and walks of life enjoy conversation, interaction or solitude in the café's space. Underlying this, we also redistribute 70% of cafe profits locally and globally. Read more on our upside down business model under Our Story.

We serve our house roasted Jailbreaker Coffee, a selection of sweet and savoury cabinet treats, and our famous brunch menu (download here).
